" Meantime General Claudine, not having a sufficient force to relieve the Colonel, being much inferior to the rebels, and the re hellion being now general in Lomba Vinhaes, Braganca; and Mi • randa, retired towards Chaves, to join the General of that province, who writes from Chaves, in a letter of the 25th, that be then first learned the disastrous events at Braganza, all cos . respondence being immediately cut off, and he wrote directly to the Generals of Minim and Oporto to assist him without loss of time.

The officers of the vanguard of the cavalry of . rebels were killed 94 11 . (they were Captain Casninheiro and others). a enemy's force afterwards increased, and large bodies of Gum lait maintained a brisk fire with the Eighth infantry, commanded by Colonel Val dez ; the latter was joined by the 21st, commanded by Lieutenant- Colonel Jose Miguel de Noronha, and after a courageous resist ance, retired to the town, and from that to the citadel, and' the blood of the traitors flowed in abundance. The 12th cavalry and the company of infantry fought nobly. The rebels had sent flags of truce to them, but they had not returned ; such were the last ac counts to the 26th. The rebels had plundered the city, the inha bitants of which had retired to the fort. An English merchant suffered terrible losses, as well as all the inhabitants. ," 1 General Mello collected all the troops, and was on the point of maraing towards Braganza. The insurrection in Tres os Monies was not yet become general. The progress of the rebels slid not pass Pudence ; Mirandilla and this part of Tua were still tranquil.'

In the Sitting of the 4th Dec. the Minister for Foreign Affairs gaVe tut account of the relations with Foreign Powers, in which he showed that the disposition of England was decidedly friendly ; adding, that she alone would be sufficient to defend the nation from all its enemies ; that the French Government has re ' iNnised the present system of Portugal : that the instructions g iv en by Russia, Austria, and Prussia, to their Charges d'Affaires were satisfactory, and have been completely fulfilled by them; tikat in Consequence of the well-known intrigue of Spain, and of lets events, a note had been given to the Ambassader of that coon try, from the Portuguese Government, signifyinf. to him that his functions were suspended, till the conduct of his Court was ex plained ; and another to the Portuguese Ambassador at Madrid, to demand satisfaction of that Government—not for words, but i(u la—relative to the *aid events. The Minister stated, verbally, that should the satisfaction required not prove what it ought to be the English, the ',mural 'Web, and ancient friends of Portugal, would take upon theni to demand it; and that the Governing being authorised by the Chamber s to rece i ve foreign tr oops, already applied to F.',11 oops, had gland for them, in consequen ce t h e ol unta exist ingruies Treaties.

The Minister then asked if the Chamber wished to be informed at the state of the provinces and the plans of the rebels—c, Ja y 411 rusane,.. was replied. )--The Government was well informed of all the plans of the rebels, and even of their plan of attack it gave notice of it to the Spanish Government, which, instead of dispersing the rebels, kept them united in such a manner, that even the oath which they tools to defend the rights of the Infant bon Miguel, fcc. Was taken under the protection of the Spanish Authorities. His Excellency read thin document, *hewing the succession of right, which the rebels established, that the Crown, in default of the Infant, should go to the Princess of Baia, who, said he, is now "lot a Portuguese, having lost all her rights by her marriage; hence we may see the morality of the authors of this plan. His Excellency then read the signatures to this document, and kfltiod, as a proof that all this was done in public , it was preceded solemn Mass, as is shown by the following Order of this Day, imued by Msgesi—(he read it)—and continued : In the Archives of the Government there are many other important documents, leaking two vols. folio, which I have not preeented, not to weary PIO Patience of the Chamber, hut they may be given to a Com e for examination ; for all 1 desire is, that the Chamber and i ".'leholo Nation may know that 1 have always acted as a Pertu g4ool-4 Applause.

(He read, in fact, an insignificant answer.) I hope the French GUvernment will deprive that Ambassador of his post. If the Chamber desires farther explanation, lam ready to give all in my power. Senhor Guerreiro blamed the Ministers for having yet done nothing to avert the dangers which they saw approaChing, from which be inferred that the Ministers were divided in their opinions. _ _ _ 'Senhor Sarmento wished the documents to be printed, that they might bein time for the English packet, which would sail in six hours.—Lisbon Gazette, Dec. 5, inclasive.

Zb. l nu, LONDON, IVEDNESDAY EVENING, DEC. la, 1626. The proceedings in 'Parliament last evening, have thrown new lustre over the glory of Great Britain. National faith and national honour have been not only preserved inviolate, but advocated with a zeal and fervency, by men of all parties, honourable to our country, and cpnclusively proving, that at any sacri fice, and under any circumstances, Great Britain will ! fulfil her treaties, and that her co-operation may be depended upon by her Allies in the hour of danger. To describe the magnificent Speech of Mr. Canning on this occasion, or the effect it produced on the minds of all who heard it, would be as impossible as to de scribe the wind and its power. His matchless elo quence was' fired with patriot zeal, 'and' irresistibly en gaged in the holy cause which it dwelt upon, every man whose feelings were . not blinded, by the sordid considerations of interest, to. !the sacred duty of performing.. the conditions of solemn engage ments. •TO the report of his • speech, therefore, and to those of Earl BATHURST and other Noble Lords and Honourable Members, alike breathing the language of honour and good faith, we mint refer our readers, reminding them only that the page of our history will record the events of the past days as the brightest in our annals. The fulfilment of a Treaty was asked on Friday Jest ; on 'Saturday it was determined by Mi nisters to fulfil these engagements of the country ; on Sunday his MAJESTY gave his full approval to the measures proposed ; on Monday his Royal Message was deliveredlo Parliament ; on Tuesday both Houses cordially and triumphantly sanctioned the intentions Of the Government ; this day a fleet and an army are upin ; and, before ten short days are passe4, the Standard-of England will be planted in Portugal, " not for the .purpose of g.overning or dictating to her people, but to afford her defence from foreign hostility and foreign dominion." In his magnificent address to the House last night, Mr. CANNING somewhat too distrustingly, we think, alluded to the spread of opinion, which the approach ing war with Spain might engender. He seemed to think that we were letting loose a monster on society, who would never cease his devastations till Europe sunk beneath his sway. Surely this is an overstrained view of the subject ; the public opinion, which Mr. CANNING deprecates, is no monster—but a Redeemer, a moral and political Redeemer, who associated in re collection, with all that is great and glorious in European history, has now come in the ninth hour .to free Portugal, (and, perhaps, the world), from the Jesuitical despotismof a besotted bigotry. It is not revolutionary opinions that the present crisis is send ing forth to the world ; but those by which "we have acquired our past, and secured our present triumphs ; namely, an enlightened toleration in religion, a tem perate freedom in Government, and a limited and legal monarchy. .. ' These opinions the Spanish war will, undoubtedly,' spread far and wide, but these, thank God, need never be subjects of apprehension to us. We now draw our 'swords i n th e holy cause of freedom, while the despotism against which we go boldly forth to battle, is on the eve of being, offered up as a sacrifice to those opinions which Mr. CAN NING deprecates, even while his enlightened mind adopts them. With regard to the Spanish Govern ment we should say (might we venture to indulge in speculation), the present war ends in mere smoke, or whether the blast of the British trumpet shall be heard sounding the call to freedom through every part of Spain, mat ters not ; the free opinions of England have gone forth, the minds of all Europe have been stirred, and the vast moral avalanche that hangs tottering over the head of FaRDINAND, wants but the breath of such excitement to dislodge it. So much for public opinion; - against which Spain has for years been warring , and to which she will at last be sacrificed. In the Second Edition of our Paper of yesterday, we announced the arrival of Lisbon Papers to the sth inst., and intelligence from Oporto to the 2 d. These papers, and private letters received at the MIME time, abound with matter of the highest import. mice and interest, but in consequence of want of space' we can offer no observations on their contents, but must refer our readers to the extracts from them, which will be fotind in` another column. ------ Li addition to the extracts from the Lisbon Papers, we subjoin a Proclamation from Major-Gen. STUBBS, Governor O. Oporto, upon the inhabitants f to aid in the military defence of the City against the Royal Forces:— 4, PROCLAMATION OF GENERAL STUBBS. " Portuguese !...The traitorous faction of our -desertion have dared to pass the frontiers, and to attack Braganm where they met with a vigorous resistance. Their'perfidi ous em i ss aries, im posing upon the simpl e i n h a bi tants of Trite-oil -Monte', by mean. of the respected name of the Infant Don Miguel, have prevailed on them to rise in rebellion against their lawful King, against their country, and against their own interests ; for , you are well aware, that that Prince gave them no authority, as is proved by his solemn oath, to preserve the Charter, and his Rival espousals so lately celebrated at Vienna. The object of the traitors is very different from what they avow. They seek to deprive you of your laws and of your rights, and encouraged as they are by a concealed hand, they intend (if they, themselves, are conscious of what they intend) to blot you out from the number of free and independent nations, and to make you the sport of Europe. " Portuguese !—lt is the design of these men to satiate (if they can accomplish it) in this city, also, tizeir rage, their thirst of blood, and of riches, as they have just done in Braganza, where they plundered the unarmed citizens, not respecting even the ruo , it sacred places. My duty, as General, is to adopt measures of prevention, and your duty is to assist me in giving effect to them. The faithful and brave troops of Generals the Marquis de Anguja .111ello and Claudine, cover our front, and will soon make their enemies know their valour. Colonel Vaacancellos, with the first battalion of the breve 16th regiment of infantry, a brigade of artillery, and detachments of the militia of this district, defend the important point of Amirante, and the whole of the right bank'of the river Tamega.. " Portuguese !--Show to the whole world that this city, al eady known in history by the patriotism which it displayed un der similar circumstances, is still swayed by the same sentiments ; that you can defend your rights, and fight for the lawful power of Don Pedro the Fourth, to whom we have all sworn obedience ; and let us, with common consent, cry, Live Don Pedro the Fourth ! Live Queen Maria the Second, with the Charter of Constitution ! "THOS. NVSI. STUBBS, Maj.-Gen. and Governor of the Troops. " ifead-quarters, Oporto, Nov. 80, 1826." The French Papers of Sunday, and the Etoile of Monday morning, reached us last night. The latter contains no news from the Peninsula. It has intelligence from Constantinople to the 13th ult., which furnishes nothing but accounts of further executions and arrests. A Colonel of a regiment, and other persons of rank, have shared the common fate, and the SULTAN'S taste has been ratified by the re ceipt of a sack of ears from Candia. The Augsbrirgh Gazette, under the date Constan tinople, Nov. 10, contains a statement that Mr. S. CANNING had presented to the REIS-EFFENDI, a protocol of the conferences which had taken place at St. Petersburg)) on the affairs of Greece. This pro tocol, it is said, was accompanied by an intimation that all the European Powers made common cause in de manding concessions for Greece. We received this forenoon the Allgemeine. Zeitung of the 6th inst., but we can only find room for the following extract cONstANTINOPLF, Nov. 16.--(Ay PXYRIESS.) Mr. S. Canning and Mr. V. Chabert had many confer ences with the Reis Effendi, which are supposed to have related, to the confidential communications respecting the Greek question, has just despatoh t d an Extraordinary Courier to London. It is info ed from many circumstances that the Porte shows itself more inclined to accede to an arrangement of the affairs of Greece. The numerous malcontents in the capital are restrained from new attempts only by sanguinary measures. viziocA, Nov. 90. MAtalliqueo, 90i. Bank Shares, 1126. We have received private letters from Lisbon, dated the 4th inst., of which we insert the following extracts : Things change so rapidly, that one cannot tell how soon all will be quiet again; but the Priests, by Spanish money, make a party, and Miguel'. name foments all. I suppose it will end in his coming. We must be gettin tired of Don Pedro's faucie‘.--- Thl actompuryiug wail a; 4410 by twe piper* just oruconte to . NOW. .

There had been an open Court in the forenoon, when all Gotta of people went to kiss hands on the occasion of Don Miguel's marriage. The naval officers ware placed as usual with the Corps Diplomatique, on one side the Vrincesses ; the office rs o f th e Court, among whom was Lord Be Ford, on the opposite side, and Ladies on both lidos; a Piano-forte and the singers, and in front the Peers and Deputies; all the party standing except shout a dozen of Ladies, who were squatted down behind the Princesses' chairs; a very extensive or. chestra extended from one part in a double line to the end of the large room we were in. The three Princesses, as it is a custom on the occasion of weddings in the Royal Family, sang to the ac companiment of the piano -forte, and the Princess. Regent sang an Italian air applicable to th e occas i on, ass i ste d b y all the music, and she did it very well. This is the first thing of this sort since I have been here, and the gay dresses of some smart women, and the whole scene was very good, The Providentia has arrived from Brazils, she bring. Dr. Aguia to be Minister at this Court. This is he that was sus pected at the time of poisoning the late King, and that ha fled next morning after the King's death, saying for Madeira, but he went to the Brazil., and is now coine back. The other doctor, Dr. Abrantes, was sent off lately, principally at Sir William A'Court's instance; he is gone to Brazils; perhaps that rascal will return too. They are frightened at Oporto, but if the troops ant 4! oppose are loyal, all this will soon end as to invasion. It is Lieutenant-General Sir WILLIAM HENRY CLINTON, G.C.8., Lieutenant-General of the Ord nance, who is to command the troops destined for Portugal. It is laid several expresses have arrived from Paris , briogiog copy of the Speech which the King of France has addressed to'the Chamber on -the opening of the Session. It is reported that the Speech is worded in vary paareable language, and without any observations of a-warlike tendency. A watch was stolen in the pit of the Opera at Peri; ; the loser co►uplained in a loud voice, and It i s near wen; in a few minutes .my watch will strike—the sound is strong—and by that means we *hall instantly ascertain where it is." The thief, terrified at this, endeavoured to escape, and by his agitation discovered himself. We understand that Charles Lucien Buonaparte, Prince Iklasiguano, who arrived here a few days ago, from New York, in the packet ship Canada, presented Captain Rogers with a beautiful gold ring, containing a miniature likeness of Napotem painted by the celebrated Isabel. The miniature, which we have seen, ie most beautifully executed, and conveys, though so small, an admirable likeness of Napoleon, in the uniform of the Guard.— Liverpool Commercial Chronicle. CItATHIE, DEC. I.—A Mall and two women be longiug to Corgarff, on their return from Tomiotol market, perished! in the snow on the Friday night ; the bodice have since been found.—One poor fellow, belonging to this parish, of the name of J.

About day-break on Saturday morning, they left the hut for home. They had not gone far wh en the poor girl sunk ' down exhausted, unable to proceed f art h er. In ' this dread ful dilemm a , th e brother determined to save her life, or share her fate. Boingtimes carrying her on hie back, sometimes in his arms, lie at • last truceteded, after an exertion of six hours, in gaining a wood, which he knew. She was now speechless. Having placed her under the thelter of some trees, and covered her with his coat and wet, he hastened for assistance to the nearest house, whither she was carried, and the poor fellow had the satisfaction of seeing her restored to life.

It will be seen by the Parliamentary Report, that the King'i Message hal, been answered by what we may call the unanimous assent of both Lords and Commons. In the Upper House the propriety and necessity of affording aid to Portugal were admitted and enforced with equal earnestness by Ministers, and by those Lords who usually Oppose them. In the House of Commons; Mr. Mule moved ati amendment, which met with very little en couragement : the Ministerial motion was carried by about 300 members, and not above four voices were heard to express any - dissent. We have not room toAay for an examination of the debate, but if we may judge by the -speeches of Earl Bathurst, the Duke of Wellington, end Mr. Canning, there has been a remarkable agreement" of opinion among all the members of the Cabinet as to the necessity of the decisive step which Parliament has now so completely sanctioned and adopted. It appeals to us to be idle to calculate, ,as some do, on the possible extent, duration, or direction of a contest once be gun ; but it is enough for every moral and essential purpose to knoW when it cannot be avoided. That such is the necessity for that quarrel in which Great Bri tain has just embarked, we .have already declared our so lemn and conscientious persuasion. That she will, effect the great end for which she hits appealed to arms, we have no more doubt titan of the justice of her cause Go vernment and p " if the eople of England be true an honest to wards each other. But it is fair to sonlovhat further, by subjoining, that if a :substantial and predominant, Tough 'go not universal peace, be looked for, this frank and dessuled step on the part of England is the very wisest that could be thought of to secure it. A presentiment appears to exist throughout London that the contest will be brought to a speedy ending, by the submission of Ferdinand and his Camarillo, to whatever terms may have been proposed to him by England, France, and. Portugal, united,. What can the terms be of such a nature as would satisfy these Allied Powers? None, indisputably, but those through which the independence of Portugal might be secured from insult. None, therefore, we are bound to add, short of an ' a b so l u t e an d fioidamental change in the spirit and form of the present priestly despotism ; and how that can be 'accomplished must become a grave question with the Allies. Ferdinand stands pledged against any institutions deviating fiom the actual model while, in the absence of institutions, and the supremacy of one unfettered will, there can exist no possible guarantee for the repaie of a neighbour who possesses than. It gave us, uevertheless, muningled grati fi cati o n t o rea d tn.7.trtras graph in his Majesty' s message which contains so elsZar and honourable a tribute to the sense entertained by his Majesty of the wisdom and liberality of the French Go vernment in this instance. We acknowledged ourselves, some days ago, perplexed for a motive by which Chitties X. and his Ministers could be induced to embarrass themselves with a lengthened occupation of Spain ; and the difficulty of suggesting .any fair or reasonable object for a line of policy notoriously so troublesome to those who pursued it, had implanted in our minds a suspicion of purposes less di.' rect and generous than we would willingly ascribe to his Most Christian Majesty. We have, however, strung grounds for believing that sentiments of extreme disgust towards the wretched hypocrites who rule the Court of Madrid have long prevailed in the Councils and Salons of the Tuileries. It is even said, in letters from Paris, that some weeks ago, before the decision of the British Cabinet could have been so much as dreamed of at Paris, a formal and pe remptory communication proceeded from the hand of Charles X. himself, to Ferdinand, fixing a very early day in the approaching spring for the unconditional evacuation of the Spanish territory by the French ferceS. This we believ e to be the fact; and a more satisfactory proof of the perfect sincerity of the French Sovereign and his Government, in their co-operation with England for the independence of Portugal, and for the relief of. Spain herself from bondage, can hardly, we think, be adduced. The Court of .France could not adopt a measure more graceful in itself, or more tranquillising to Europe, than the publication of that letter of King Charles, with the date of it. Nothing could more thoroughly demonstrate to the French people, pai ti l ' i a , n as thi t s vi l n7a;: d r with the t h h i e , date P that their Sovereign was it spootaneaus and determined friend to . , the harmony of councils which be pigiessod tivith t mise to 3re e a v t ae ll ua ti t t : in g of the English message, and with the arrival of the intelligence which produced it. Assuming this ides'. tity of feeling between the two great powers of France and England, there is indeed a prospect of a speedy denouement to this unpleasant drama. A strict adherence to his Majesty the King of France's resolution, to Withdraw his troops about the end of March, would provide a fair field on which Portu gal might defend herself, without any risk that legitimate measures of self-defence could bring her into a delicate or embarrassing position with regard to the forces. of. Hie Most Christian Majesty; and such we are apt to think would he as much the desire of the French Cabinet as of the English—indeed we are assured there is but one opi nion, and that a kindly one,--entertained by Prance, Eng land, Austria, and Prussia, and even, Russia, towards the Royal charter bestowed upon the Portuguese nation. It appears, upon the whole, mote than prothible, that ere long Charles X. will join His Britannic Majesty in overt mea sures for the political good of the Peulnsule ; fuel in that ,respect he will hut enforce the general desire of his people, Who are manifestly and unfeignedly of one accord with England on this question, so dear to the freedom and se curity of unoffending tuitions. We rejoice to see that or ders are already gi ven f or t h e marc h and embarkation. of seven battalions of Briti s h i n f a n try , i nc l u di ng two of the Guards, which latter depart e d at fi le this 4Ronfr ig f or Lisbon—now. The discussion last night, in both Houses, was of the most interesting character. Ministers hid but too rood a ease. We are bo un d b y treaty to aid Portugal against foreign aggression; the Portuguese Government has claimed that aid ; and the proof has been Afforded of such an aggression on th e p art o f S pa i n ' , as justified the claim. The Portuguese rebels have been maintained and armed at the expense of 'the Spanish Government, Which sup plied them also with arms, to distribute to such of the disaffected as might join them, "I cannot," said the !Duke of Wellington--the highest authority onstich a sub ject_,4 I cannot see an armed force marching on both sides of the Douro, and another on the south of the Tagus, and the Guadiana at the same time armed by Spanish Audio rides, and not see, that such a proceeding must have had the concurrence 'of the Sp an i s h G overnment. " So far, then, all is clear. But if Sp a i n were alone concerned, the problem would be of easy solution. Th e di ff i culty is the part which Fran ce h as hi t h erto taken, and which she may hereafter take. It i s t hi s wh i ch gives ao serious O a w ratter to the steps w hi c h the English Government have now 'resolved on. M r. C anning, in the spirit of the mileage, obsessed on thi s very delicate point—' , .lohould do an 'et of injustice to France if I were not to add, that the re" presentations of t h e G overnment Of t h at. country , on t hi s point, hav e b een as urgent, and, alas I as fruitless as thoseof the B r i t i s h Ministry, Upon the rst irruption i n to the Portu guese terr i tory, t h e k r erich- Government, to *- tify its displ easure, fi recalled its Ambusaad or , and directed that Spain was to look for no supp ort from Trainee, against. its Charg e d'Aff a i res to signify to Ili Catholic lkNatity the consequences of this aggression, and again to room tmheant hed ior th c a: isob) am boinal in justice to the hem!' Government to xtat e , s h o uld retrace the steps alr ea dy ta k en . I yet .it exerted itself to the utmost. I hlive, no right whatever to impute any want of sincei ity or good 1 f a ith to the exertions made by Ranee to force Spain to the oremit io n of her engagements." God know how this ma y he, but we think the account of the proveedinge in the Chambers at Lisbon, in the extracts from Lisbon Pa pers, furnish strong ground,' for presuming, at all events, that in what has hitherto been done, the French have concurred with the Spanish Govetnment. Nlr. Canning knows more than we can know, but we expect be is too kolitic to charge the Fren c h G overnment W it h a ll t h at he nows. it to have done. Mr. Canning was deceived al ready, by his own account, by the French Ministers, and though ; as was observed by a Physician of celebrity, then
